[dba-SQLServer]Help - get db back

On a related note, I need to get SQL Server to install at all.  I have done
this many times in the past few years.  Now, it starts the process, then
just goes out to lunch and never comes back.  I have a directory structure
on the disk complete with a ton of DLLs and stuff, but no program groups
etc.

Does anyone know how to tell what is going wrong and get it to finish the
install?

Windows 2000 SP3, SQL Server 2K.
